At GM David Kenya LTD, Dry Hides are one of our flagship products — carefully sourced, naturally cured, and expertly handled for durability, quality, and long shelf life. Ideal for both domestic use and international export, our dry hides are trusted by leather manufacturers, tanneries, and industrial processors across Africa and beyond.
What Are Dry Hides?
Dry hides are animal skins (typically cow hides) that have been air-dried under controlled conditions, without the use of chemical tanning. This preservation method reduces moisture content, preventing decay and allowing for long-distance transport and extended storage.
Our drying methods include:
Open-air sun drying
Shed drying with shade
Racks or suspended frames for airflow
The result? Clean, firm, and lightweight hides that are ready for grading, tanning, and transformation into high-quality leather products.
We collect raw hides directly from vetted farms and abattoirs across Kenya — ensuring traceability and selection of healthy livestock.
Each hide is inspected and graded by trained staff for defects, thickness, size, and flexibility — ensuring you receive consistent quality every time.
Our sun-drying methods avoid chemical contamination, preserving the natural fiber strength needed for premium leather products.
We handle packing, fumigation, documentation, and logistics, ensuring smooth cross-border shipping to regional and international buyers.
From small-scale artisan batches to bulk commercial orders, we tailor shipments to meet your specifications and timeline.
We believe in turning livestock by-products into valuable goods. Our dry hide operations reduce waste and support the full use of animal resources while creating income for rural communities and local suppliers.
